When we first started up our pool (new) in December the pool company told us it was okay to swim. Not knowing what I know now we did. Now there are white footprints left on my blue plaster that I cant get rid of. Any suggestions??
White footprints in pool

How are you testing the water? How long ago did the footprints show up? Can you share a picture? Have you talked to your pool builder?
Sorry more questions that answers but we need to know what you are dealing with.

Footprints have been there since Dec. Builder told me they would disappear once the PH settled down. Using a TF 100. My PH and TA are good. CH is high but gradually coming down. Chlorine and CYA are on the low side as I allowed this over winter.
I will tell you there are several pool builders that have it written into their start up "When the water gets half way up the skimmer plate, JUMP IN!" so........you did not do anything wrong AND he told you too.
I would push for an acid wash to see if that helps.

White marks are more likely caused before the pool was filled with water, and just takes a few days to show up and often longer than that - not from swimmers afterwards.
